Wanted Need Door Seals, Vent Window Seals and Trunk Seal for Daimler ds420 Limo

Got the stop light switch at my local Lordco - overnight from Coast and total cost $18, (CDN). Still need info on SU pump operation so will seek out used replacement. Also no dash/gauge lights and front small, round marker lights seem to work one day but then not for weeks. (sigh). Someone else can deal with door and window seals and minor cosmetic detailing. Summer almost over so car will sit for another winter.
 
Might be ground behind dash for the dash lights, also an area of wires getting hot behind ign. ,and fender grounds for maker lights, inside fender or in engine compartment near radiator.
 
Thanks. I'll look into this - but still feeling a bit 'blah'. Several years ago I replaced small, noisy fuel pump on '68 E-type with small, generic, low-pressure, quiet, (Carter?) pump and it worked great. Now thinking about doing same to Limo - where new pump can replace the faulty S.U. Is this possible? If not - why not? thanks.
EDITED: I did go ahead and install small generic electric pump - self priming and low pressure about same as OEM SU. So far so good.

Car finally on the road after almost 22 years. I have another thread in here about my Master Cylinder woes. I will find it and update but will post here also that I got all four wheels stopping fine. The weather stripping all available in England - but - very pricey. Next owner can do it.
NOW - thinking about replacing rear window. (sigh)
